A Divine trine in the Lord is acknowledged in heaven (n.
14, 15, 1729, 2004, 5256, 9303).
The trine in the Lord is the Divine Itself, called the
Father, the Divine Human, called the Son, and the Divine
going forth, called the Holy Spirit and this Divine trine
is a One (n. 2149, 2156, 2288, 2319, 2329, 2447, 3704,
6993, 7182, 10738, 10822, 10823).
The Lord Himself teaches that the Father and He are One
(n. 1729, 2004, 2005, 2018, 2025, 2751, 3704, 3736, 4766);
also that the Holy Divine goes forth from Him and is His
(n. 3969, 4673, 6788, 6993, 7499, 8127, 8302, 9199, 9228,
9229, 9264, 9407, 9818, 9820, 10330).
[11] The Divine Human flows into heaven and makes heaven
(n. 3038). The Lord is the all in heaven and is the life
of heaven (n. 7211, 9128). In the angels the Lord dwells
in what is His own (n. 9338, 10125, 10151, 10157).
Consequently those who are in heaven are in the Lord (n.
3637, 3638).
The Lord's conjunction with angels is measured by their
reception of the good of love and charity from Him (n.
904, 4198, 4205, 4211, 4220, 6280, 6832, 7042, 8819, 9680,
9682, 9683, 10106, 10810).
The entire heaven has reference to the Lord (n. 551, 552).
The Lord is the common center of heaven (n. 3633, 3641).
All in heaven turn themselves to the Lord, who is above
the heavens (n. 9828, 10130, 10189).
Nevertheless angels do not turn themselves to the Lord,
but the Lord turns them to Himself (n. 10189).
It is not a presence of angels with the Lord, but the
Lord's presence with angels (n. 9415).
In heaven there is no conjunction with the Divine Itself,
but conjunction with the Divine Human (n. 4211, 4724,
5663).
[12] Heaven corresponds to the Divine Human of the Lord;
consequently heaven in general is as a single man, and for
this reason heaven is called the Greatest Man (n. 2996,
2998, 3624-3649, 3741-3745, 4625).
The Lord is the Only Man, and those only are men who
receive the Divine from Him (n. 1894).
So far as they receive are they men and images of Him (n.
8547).
Therefore angels are forms of love and charity in human
form, and this from the Lord (n. 3804, 4735, 4797, 4985,
5199, 5530, 9879, 10177).
[13] The whole heaven is the Lord's (n. 2751, 7086).
He has all power in the heavens and on earth (n. 1607,
10089, 10827).
As the Lord rules the whole heaven He also rules all
things depending thereon, thus all things in the world (n.
2025, 2026, 4523, 4524).
The Lord alone has the power to remove the hells, to
withhold from evils, and to hold in good, thus to save (n.
10019).
87. XII. THERE IS A CORRESPONDENCE OF ALL THINGS OF HEAVEN WITH ALL
THINGS OF MAN.
